These Atherton books are full of weird physics and philosophy that don’t /really/ make sense but is believable when you squint real hard and pretend you’re an eleven year old.
I also 100% believe that Dr. Kenkaide and Vincent deserve to be open about their relationship and this book seriously does’t want that to happen. Like there was a whole scene where our intrepid adolescent heros are looking at and thinking about Dr. K’s bed but there’s no mention of where Vincent sleepsthough we know it’s in the same house at least, and they are described as “constant companions” but they’re not dating...?
My rating for these would probably be a 3.5/5 because it was a series and it was fun but there wasn’t a lot for me (which is fine I’m not 11) and multiple points where I was thinking about the story and not in the story.
